Broadcom wireless card

Question:Broadcom wireless card

First, the questions: every time my girlfriend boots her Gateway laptop, she successfully connects to the wireless network for the dorm. However, she must release/renew to get any connectivity. The card is a Broadcom 8011.b/g (also has bluetooth... I have been out of the tech loop for a while now and know little enough about laptops to have no clue what the model number or even that company's track record is as far as compatibility and reliability). I have played around with the standard settings to try and fix this with no avail. Also, the laptop take a million years to boot and shut down, and while I am no expert, I have toyed with the common things that might cause this... I know that a tech guy got to the laptop before I did and replaced the OS and did a bunch of tweaks and didn't document it or anything so I have no idea what state her laptop is actually in.

And a bit of mudslinging... I would encourage you all to avoid purchasing your laptops (or desktops for that matter) from Gateway or Best Buy. Gateway does not support your computer in the event that you change operating systems or alter the computer in any way. Also be aware that Gateway does not cover a laptop with their name on it purchased from Best Buy. You actually must call a seperate number that leads to an eMachines representative, waiting a good 30 minutes each time you must push a new automated answering service number. Really poor business.

Preferred Solution:
Broadcom wireless card

I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.

The more recent broadcom mini PCI cards in laptops, several Gateways, Dells, Compaq/HP, really are not that reliable.

Just one example I've run into lately, my bro'in'law's D820 will connect to my Linksys WRT54GS but not his dad's US Robotics AP. It will only connect to about half of the AP's in various hotels.
Drivers have been changed, etc, but I haven't done that much with it myself. He is a pretty good tech in his own right.

Combine that with several of my customers with the same issue and a Broadcom mini PCI ABG card... its faster and cheaper for my customers just to buy an Intel 2915ABG and pop it in there.

I have an HP/Compaq Presario Laptop with a Broadcom Wireless 54g internal LAN Card. In its options it has this option for XPress (TM) Technology, what exactly does this do?

Maybe it's me, but I have noticed since I turned it on (thought it could improve performance) whenever I'm using my house phone, the wireless connection just drops. It never used to do this before. It's also affecting my desktop, but like i said, maybe its just me.

I have a new Acer laptop with a Broadcom network adapter and can connect to a 802.11b wireless router but I couldn't connect to the router at the village library which I think has 802.11g. How do I know for sure how to set my Broadcom network adapter so it can connect to an 802.11g signal. What settings should I look for. I checked my computer's device manager but couldn't get a model number for the Broadcom adapter. I have windows vista home premium 32bit on my Acer Extensa 5420-5038.

Answer:What settings for my Broadcom wireless card

Getting the right and exact model number for the Broadcom is really key.

Try Everest Home Edition to get the specs.
Download from here and run it
- Click Reports->Report Wizard
- Get a Summary report in plain text
- You can attach the report or just copy / paste the info on your network adapter right into your post as that alone won't be alot of text

btw... most adapters are set for b&g (tho of course won't know for sure till the model number) tho have you check with the library if there are any other connection criteria?

Yooooo! I have a Lenovo Y510p with modified BIOS so I could replace the crappy Intel wireless card that came with it (Intel Centrino N2230) for an Azurewave - Broadcom 4352. The experience has been good so far, the only problem I'm having is the low wireless signal with the card. I have other laptops that have higher range and strengths on the same place with older cards.

I've tried verifying (and even swapping) the cables and noted no difference. I asked on another forum and they told me that it could be that the card is not receiving enough power, but I have yet to find a settings in the BIOS or in Windows that dwindles its performance. I have recently updated the driver from Lenovo's website and it didn't improve a bit.

Any suggestions to improve the wireless signal? Thanks.

Answer:Broadcom 4352 AC card, low wireless signal.

Don't have a answer for this one but do you know if the Broadcom is better than the Intel 7260AC?

A few months ago I bought an Acer Aspire One 722 netbook. On the first run I installed Windows 7 (since it had Linpus Linux with no GUI pre-installed) and I installed all the drivers. After some time I decided to use Xubuntu 12.10 and I was happy with it. It automatically installed the proprietary driver for the wi-fi card and all was good.

The trouble came when Ubuntu 13.04 got released and I decided to look for another distro since the one I was using was out of date and not as fast as I had wished anyway. I've installed Manjaro Linux and everything worked nicely until one time I went downstairs for a moment and came back to see my screen blanked out (default power settings), which was normal, and... my wi-fi led turned off. The internet still worked but now the led wouldn't light up no matter what. I figured that it must have burned out or something so I ignored the problem.

I realized the problem was more serious when I decided to try Lubuntu. When the installer asked me to connect to a network, at first it connected properly and then, when I wanted to continue the installation, it probably downloaded and installed the proprietary driver, because the led switched on but the installer tried to connect to my network over and over again unsuccessfully.

To get a better idea of what's going on I installed Xubuntu 12.10 again (because the wi-fi card worked fine on it before) and checked the wi-fi driver selection in software sources>additional drive... Read more

I am looking for a better alternative to my Broadcom 4313AGN that is currently in this laptop. I want to utilize 5GHz instead of the 2.4GHz. I've searched and had little luck so far, I can't even see to find if my BIOS is locked down with whitelist. Any help anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

Answer:Alternative wireless card for Broadcom 4313AGN

Hello Xaxxas, Thank for coming to the HP Forums! I understand that you are looking for an alternative wireless card for your HP Pavilion g7-1075dx Notebook. I have look up the manual for your notebook. HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide Page 51 of the manual has the information for the compatible wireless cards with your notebook, that would be a great place to start. You can use the part numbers with the HP Part Surfer if you find one that suits your needs. HP Part Surfer I will keep a look out for your reply.

Hello. Well, a couple weeks ago my wireless started acting buggy. It wouldn't work, but if I restarted my laptop it would usually start again. Now it's not working at all. I've tried reinstalling the drivers with the disc that came with my computer and downloading the drivers from the dell website. The device does show up in my device manager. I've tried deleting it, so it reinstalls, didn't work. It is enabled in BIOS. I have tried the little wireless switch and the hotkey.

I have the same computer and my wifi card is the dell 1390. the broadcom is the wired device. could you go into device manager (type device manager in search) and see if there is an "unknown" device? that might be your wifi.

I'm working on a clients notebook [HP presario R3205ap with XP pro SP3] that has an issue with the broadcom wireless network card... the notebook has the network card showing a yellow exclamation mark in device manager and the error message "the driver is missing or corrupt, please reinstall driver" When uninstalling driver, using the "find new hardware" option in control panel, windows gets to the "search for driver" section in the installation wizard and then freezes up the whole system, with a reboot holding down the power button to restart the only solution. I've tried downloading the latest driver from HP, uninstalling the driver in device manager and attempting to install the new driver, but again the system freezes when the device manager refreshes itself when searching for the driver.
Can anyone help??

I have been struggling with my both dell machines. Both have Broadcom cards. These cards have similar problems with my router for the past few days. what wireless cards do you have?

Even though it appears you're having the same problem, please start a new thread when you have a new issue. It's very difficult to keep two problems straight and who's working on what in a single thread.

I've created a new thread for your issue here.

I am getting an 1802 error message on boot when I install the Broadcom Mini-PCI wireless card. I know it has something to do with some code IBM put into the BIOS or CMOS to check the cards for manufacturer or something like that. Is there anyway around this message or do I have to try and find an IBM mini-PCI wireless card for this machine?

You have two choices:a) Buy a genuine cardb) Apply the so-called "no-1802" BIOS hack for the machine to accept your Broadcom card.If you choose the second solution, just Google for "no-1802" and you'll find all you need to get this done. However, be advised that you're messing with BIOS and that motherboard failures have been reported as a result of this procedure, although in small number of cases.BTW, what ThinkPad are we discussing here? On some machines the "no-1802" procedure doesn't work...Good luck.Message Edited by ajkula66 on 06-23-2008 08:55 PM

I have an acer aspire 5000 laptop which has had a new OS installed. XP PRO was the system installed. The oem disk was never made for this laptop so the XP installation is that of a different install disk. All the drivers where installed from Acer America. All seemed good to go except I am not able to bring up the Broadcom utility from all programs/broadcom utility/open, nothing happens. I have gone into add/remove and all the programs show up, from the modem, broadcom utility Yadda, Yadda, Yadda. The activate button on the front of the laptop has been turned on. It seems as though something is missing just not sure what. I have used Dr Hardware, Everest and SIW for information on what is installed on the laptop, all seems good to go, but believe me it's not. I am diffenitly needing help. Thanks from Donk for any help that may be given.

I am a new user and not a particularly technically competent one. I hope this is the right forum for this question.

I am using a Dell Latitude D430 with Vista Business. For Broadband connections it has a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx controller. I am on the road in a hotel which has an ethernet broadband connection in my room. I am connecting to the internet through this ethernet connection. However, every time that I do something, e.g. go to a new URL, a box pops up labelled "Connect Broadband Connection" which asks for a user name and password and tries to dial a connection. I have to close it because it appears to stall the ethernet connection while it waits to dial. I don't understand why it doesn't recognize the ethernet connection. I can't find a way to disable it without disabling the card and then my ethernet connection doesn't work. Is there something I can do?? Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Answer:Help with Broadcom Card

in internet explorer goto tools options, then connections tab i believe, and you should see an option, never dial a connection. Try that.

Hi, I got a new laptop today with this adapter built in. All everything is connected fine but it won't detect my network, it sees both my neighbour's networks, but not mine. £ other computers in my house can detect it, so why not the laptop? The router is a Netgear DG834G and the 3 computers connected to it are all Netgear too.
Any reason why the broadcom adapter would't see my router?

Answer:Broadcom 802.11g wireless adapter

What model & manufacturer of laptop, and are you using WEP or WPA on the Router? The simple thing to look for is if the Wifi adapter light is lit up on the laptop. If it is a Compaq/Hp notebook, you would have a blue light that has an icon next to it that looks like a lollipop silkscreen icon. Same color for Gateway.

I would make sure that the Wifi Adapter is Enabled, or otherwise it would never work.

Hello everyone. I have one hp tx1320us and a sony vaio laptops. They both have the wirelss draft n card, but the hp has one from Broadcom. My problem is that the hp after being on for about two or three hours, the internet connection starts becoming slow (very slow). I go to speakeasy and run some connection tests, and the results vary from 26k to 54k; my printer icon (lan printer) starts to disconnect and connect back also. The problem is I have a cable modem running at 7mpbs. I go to speakeasy again, but on the sony, and my full connection speed is there along with my desktop pc via ethernet.

After googling, I have discovered that the broadcom draft n cards are no good. Now, is there a possibility of swapping out the card with something else out there? Or is there something that can be done to fix it?

Also, after a reboot, the connection is back to normal and at full speed; the printer icon is also consistent. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have googled for this driver for hours, no luck. I have found websites that list the driver, but there is no link to download it. The drivers from Gateways site do not work. Do any of you no a Dell or Acer laptop that uses the Broadcom BCM94318MPG wireless? Or where I can download the driver (winXP).

Thanks.

Hi guys, my friend just got a new Acer 3023 laptop with a built in broadcom wireless 802.11g card. I've installed the included drivers and utility and ensured the wireless card is active but it won't pick up my wireless network. All the computers on my network use netgear cards. I put the laptop right next to the router and it still can't see the network. Usually there are 2 or 3 wireless networks availible in my house but the laptop can't see any of them, the network is 'not connected' in network connections. I'm not sure what to do next?

Answer:Broadcom wireless problems...

I just tried changing one of the computers on my network to an ad-hoc network called 'test' and the laptop found it. I guess this means the card isn't faulty. Why can it see an ad-hoc network, but won't see my infastructure network???

Hi. I have the Lenovo 3000 N100 model 0768 A52. My problem is the wireless keeps shutting off on me. I have updated every software driver I could. No love. I have called Lenovo only to be parked in hold and forgotten. I rolled the computer back to factory settings thry the rescue and recovery. Again no love. I am at my wits end and dont know what else to try. If any one has any ideas I would love to here them. Thanks for your help.

Answer:Broadcom Wireless Keeps shutting off

Well I finally got ahold of lenovo in Atlanta Georgia. They say I needed to do a full recovery, I did and now the computer is completely useless. It gives me an error message saying I need to install a disc that I do not have. Nor do I have the $43.00 to buy these discs from Lenovo. I just find it really ironic that my warranty ended the 2nd of this month and my laptop quits on the 9th. I am now forced to use a funky Sony Vaio. Really not likeing that. If any one can help me with the discs to reset it back to factory settings, I would be so greatful. Thanks for any help or ideas.

I recently had to replace my wireless adapter and received a Broadcom BCM943228HMB from my HP rep. I am unable to find a driver for this adapter for Windows 7 64bit. I borrowed an adapter from another 8470p and it works, so it is not the M/B.Does someone have the correct driver?

Hello All, I just picked up a refurbished G500 and overall I'm pretty happy with it...with one major exception. The #1 criteria when I was laptop shopping was that it provided 802.11n support (my old laptop was just 'g'). Anyway, long story short, I am not experiencing any connectivity issues however I'm lucky if I connect at anything above 55 Mb/s. I switched over to my 802.11g router and my connection speed dropped down to 5 mb/s... so there is obviously an issue. All suggestions are welcome, but let me rule out the typical initial responses: * I have a Dell laptop that connects to my 802.11n router at 150Mbs so I know the router is fine* I have tried the generic Windows Broadcom Driver* I have tried the Lenovo Broadcom Driver for Win 7* I have tried the Lenovo Broadcom Driver for Win 8* I have tried the Lenovo Broadcom Driver for Win 8.1 Also note that I'm in I.T. but wireless isn't my strong point. When I first got the G500 before I did anything to it (so OEM image) the wireless connected low (Think the highest I saw it was 72 Mbs at one point). I have since wiped that laptop and installed my own copy of Win 8 Pro (and then Win 8.1 Pro Update) and still getting the same speed. So I feel like I have pretty much ruled out any OS issues (since I've been on 3 at this point). Drivers are always a possibility but I've tried everyone out there. And of course Hardware would be my last thought although it works.. just not that fast. I'm also... Read more

Answer:Broadcom Wireless 802.11n low Mbs speed

Just to followup, it sounds like it's the Broadcom Card. Not capable of speeds over 72 Mbs. I'd be ok with that and just replacing the card but dealing with the fact that Lenovo can't seem to tell me the approved "whitelist" cards means I can't. Thinking about returning it... this is why I never buy HP equipment and now I may have to add Lenovo to my personal Black List.

Hi, I recently bought a used T41, type 2373-Y22 from a dealer in Germany. I'm looking for a driver for the integrated wireless card. The program Everest finds the following card to be installed: Broadcom 802.11g Wireless Network Adapter (14E4-4320). This seems not to be the original card, so no driver from Lenovo works. Broadcom doesn't even bother to answer the mails. Can Anybody tell me where I can find a driver for this card? Jürgen

Hello and welcome!Did you already tried out any of the Broadcom drivers which can be found on the net, like this or one from here?Add-on: The key here is, to find out what Broadcom chipset your WLAN card uses, since it's easier to find a correct Broadcom driver, if you know the exact chipset spec name.

I have a broadcom 440x10/100 Integrated Controller. I just got the Westell 7500. It won't connect for any connection to the broadcom card. Does anyone know if this broadcom is a network adapter? My older westell modem still connects just fine. Have a Dell 521EIs this a driver issue or do I need a network adapter? If a driver problem does anyone know the driver I need? If I need a network adapter, it is for a Dell 5100C and does this disable and replace the Broadcom card? Or in addition to it?

Answer:Can I use Broadcom 440x10/100 IC for wireless

The broadcom is a non-wireless network adapter - it will only connect using a cable. If your old modem worked with the card then your new one will, you just need to set it up in the first place - follow the instructions in the manual, if you don't have them then they should be available on the Westell website."I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us..."

Answer:Wireless Connection Broadcom 802.11

Hi,

Would I be right in thinking from your reference to the wireless switch and to Fn+F5 that you are using a laptop and the Broadcom wi-fi unit is built into it ? If this is the case, these can fail in ways to have you pulling your hair out and not show up in Device Manager. A simple solution would be to beg, borrow or steal a USB type wireless dongle - and possibly its driver software, depending on your operating system - plug it in and see if you get a wireless connection with that. If you do, then probably the on-board wi-fi unit has failed and by far the cheapest solution is to go and buy a USB type dongle.

By the way, looking at your device driver screenshot, are you aware that there is a possible problem with your DVD drive, it has a '!' symbol over it ?

I am a student at a University which requires the use of a VPN client to access the internet. When I turn on my internal wireless adapter (Broadcom) it shows excellent connectivity. I also have no problem connecting to the VPN. But when I try to connect to the internet it fails.

Looking at buying one of the NB305 netbooks but wanted to check if there's anyway these can play H.264 encoded mkv files. I know the pinetrail cpu would probably struggle, but I've read that the broadcom crystal hd card can get around this issue. Would the the NB305 cope with this card as it requires a spare PCIe slot? Guessing there's no option of buying the card with the netbook like you can do with the dell mini 10 and hp mini 311?

Answer:NB 305 & broadcom crystal hd card

Hi mate

I don?t see any reasons why you should not be able to watch and play H.264 encoded mkv files.
The files might be a little bit bigger due to the high definition resolution but and simply VLC player (small tool for free) should be able to play such file?

> Would the the NB305 cope with this card as it requires a spare PCIe slot?
?.No?. you cannot insert, upgrade this notebook with any additional PCI cards?
This is not possible.

It looks like there will be an extra mini PCI-e slot open for either a WWAN card or HD broadcom accelerator chip on the new s10-3 series. I have experimented with this chip and it does help the underpowered netbooks play HD video.

Answer:How to enable Broadcom 802.11 ac wireless adpter

I rolled back the driver version and that seems to have solved the problem. Not sure how this happened. I didn't make any changes to the laptop. The only odd thing going one was the wireless router at my home office was setting and resetting. I had been at a client office earlier and it was working fine.

Hi, I am running a Compaq Presario V3000, windows XP home. It normally has wireless connection through broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN. However, last night an error message saying that there was a problem with the device appeared. I disabled and re-enabled the device through "network connections". Immediately afterwards the connection disappeared from the network connections page. It has also disappeared from the 'Device Manager' except for the "Packet scheduler miniport" which is a 'hidden device'. The HP wireless assisstant has also gone missing. It remains as a control panel icon but it wont open. By this I mean, nothing happens at all when its clicked. I have tried the "add new hardware wizard" and am now trying to download updated drivers. But so far to no effect.

I remember a similiar problem when my computer seems to have forgotten it had a CD-ROM, where all evidence of it had disappeared. that issue resolved itself as if by magic.

Hello,I have an Aspire E1-571G with Windows 8.1x64 (clean install, no upgrade and so on) and I've been having issues with my broadcom wireless drivers ever since I installed it. The troubleshooter showed up that there is a problem with the default gateway but here's what really happens: I can stay connected to a wireless network but after random periods of time I just lose internet access (note that it doesn't show up in the connections page, everything looks perfectly fine there) and I have to reconnect to the wifi to regain it. I have tried on multiple wifi network and it does the same thing. It works fine if I use an ethernet cable but that just makes it more frustrating.I have tried all the possible solutions I could find online like checking the power management settings, reinstalling the wifi card in safe mode, checking the priority of the wirelss connection, virtually anything. There is no hardware issue with it, it worked perfectly fine on Windows 7. I haven't been able to find wireless drivers for 8.1 and even though I have the latest drivers, it still doesn't work right. There are moments when I can keep my connection for more than 2-3 hours but there are times when it crashes every 5 minutes or so.Does anybody have any idea how to fix this instead of waiting for the drivers to be updated ? I've seen that I'm not the only one with this issue and it's a bit common for e1-571g users. For example lenovo users had the same problem and the only fix was to install the def... Read more

Answer:Windows 8.1 broadcom wireless drivers

boboudrescu Hello to you! I just wanted to tell you that your symptoms and troubles are exactly the same as mine. While I have found some extended ethernet connection by using FIXED DNS Server Addresses (Google Public Adresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), I still have the disconnection/dropped signal at least 6 to 8 times in the day. So I know it's not a complete remedy by you may want to give that a try and see if it maintains a connection for a bit longer. I have posted information about Broadcom's announcement to get a new driver released and can only hope that it means a complete remedy to the problem with 8.1 drivers. SOON!! So we shall see!

The notebook lose the wi-fi connection when placed 4-5 meters away from the wi-fi router. The router is okay and working perfectly - all my friends come and use the wi-fi connection with their notebooks everywhere in the flat... I tried all the troubleshooting methods described on the HP website - no way... I updated, installed, uninstalled the broadcom wireless adapter several times with different versions - no way... Can anyone here help me and solve this problem?

Hi. I am having trouble getting my Broadcom Wireless Network Adapter to work properly. I keep getting this error

This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

I have a Gateway MX6027 laptop and i went to their support site and got the drivers. I run the setup and install the drivers, but after the restart, i still get the same problem. I tried unistalling the driver and reinstalling it again but that does not seem to work.

Answer:Broadcom Wireless Network Adapter

Did this device come with a cd with it if it did then just go to control panel then to system and under the hard ware tab click device manager and the name of the device with the question mark next to it well just right click and and click update drivers then with the cd in the cd rom let the windows search for it automatically and it should fix the problem if it didnt come with a disc then go to the website and downlod the drivers if that doesnt work then its probably a bad device thats when you send it back to the manufacturer

Wifi gets Limited or Greyed Out ConstantlyUsed Hp support assistant to update it (still no use)used devmgmt.msc to enable network adapter (still no use) tried to install newer version from website (still no use)

Hello,After an upgrade to Windows 10 64-bit from Windows 7 on my ProBook 645 G1 Series laptop, I have been experiencing random bluescreens related to the bcmwl63a.sys driver. This only occurs when it is utilizing the wireless connection and does not occur if connected via an ethernet cable. I have tried the latest driver from the HP site 7.35.290.0, and the latest driver 7.35.308.0 from the Microsoft Update. It is less frequent with the latest update, but still happens. I have captured the latest dump here and pasted below. I really don't want to always run my laptop on a wired connection, so does anyone have any ideas?

Hi there,
Not sure if I've got the right forum so sorry if I've put it in the wrong place, but here goes:

I'm running a brand new Lenovo B570 with Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and a Broadcom 802.11n wireless network adaptor.

Earlier today I was managing to connect to the internet wirelessly, though the connection kept dropping out. Then I could connect to the wireless router, but not through the internet, and now I can't connect wirelessly at all. With an ethernet cable internet access is fine, and another computer in the house connects fine to the wireless too, so it follows that the problem's with this machine.

The computer recognises that the networks are there, but it can't connect.

Any help would be appreciated, I've been at this all day.

Hi orderfromchaOs, welcome to the forums , Have you got the correct drivers installed ? Visit the Broadcom site and download the correct drivers if needed Broadcom.com - 802.11 Wireless LAN Solutions

OK, first i have a HP dv7-1267cl laptop with amd turon X2 @ 2.20 ghz and 4 gig memory it came with Win home premium and i just did a fresh R&R with Vista Ultimate so needless to say i have reformatted everything. well everything seems to be going good i am fully updated via microsoft update and HP except for 2 things that just will not accept their drivers one of the is called unknown device and the other is network controller which is my broadcom wireless card I have tried to go through microsoft update i have DL'ed the driver from HP and tried installing it from my desktop and yes, I unistalled the devices in device mgr beforehand i cant tell you how many times i have Restarted the PCand everytime i get the messages about installing those drivers and then subsequently get the message that they failed so i have no wireless but do have hard line.... HELP

Answer:Can't get Broadcom wireless driver to install

Check the place the wireless driver gets unzipped to, then try to manually update the driver by right clicking on network controller & clicking on update driver & specify the directory. And then check if the driver would get installed or not.

whether I am at home or coffee shops my wireless connection speed is very slow. typically getting 1-2 MBPS download speed where the connection is otherwise transmitting at 20-25mbps. Example today - home router cisco linksys N router when hardwired to my cisco wireless router I get 27-28mbps speed but when I switch to wireless only it slows down to about 1.5mbps. at the same time I can get 10-11mbps speed on my andriod phone using the same internet speed test.net application. Today at Starbucks - andriod phone ( samsung galaxy S ii ) downlod speed ( wireless ) is @ 11-12mbps, however when I run same speed test on my lenovo G780 ( windows 8 64bit ) i can only get 1.46mbps speed. So in essence there is something amiss with my wireless adapter card ( broadcom 802.11 ) but i can't figure out if it is card/hardware issue, a config issue or driver issue. I searched the lenovo site for an updated driver but the download section doesn't even list the broadcom adapter driver at all, just intel, liteon and something else. I called Lenovo support and of course they said since my adpater card was in fact connecting then it was fine and they wanted to charge me to fix the problem... Please help !!

Answer:G780 with Broadcom Wireless - VERY slow

WOw, no responses here, must not be a well traveled site/forum. Well, I solved my problem finally, I got a new cisco N750 dual band router and that worked well for wireless connection finally, must have been some incompatibility issues with that older router and the new broadcom wireless card. Was still having a few problems with overall connection to the internet so i swapped out my old mediacom modem for a new motorola 6121 modem and reconfiged the setup again and now everything is back to normal, well above normal really cause now I am getting 23-28mbps download speed when I am privisioned for 15mbps, but that is during the day mon-fri. Ill see how it does during high traffic periods.... so far so good !!

After my kid went to some less-than-savory websites, my PC at home was infested with a slew of viruses.

I figured it was time to install 7057 since I had such good luck with 7000 on my netbook.

I installed and everything appeared to be fine, but then, using the Microsoft provided Broadcom 802.11g wireless driver (just as it is labeled in Vista Ultimate, which works PERFECTLY), things started to act flakey with my internet connection.

It's a Belkin branded Broadcom card, but I have never had issues with it. After switching back to Vista it's working perfectly again.

I ran Windows updates, then started to surf the web a little to find some drivers and in the middle of doing nothing out of the ordinary, internet connectivity simply dropped.

It showed me still connected, but only for local access - no internet.

I rebooted - couldn't even connect to the wireless now.

I did a cold boot - connects but local only.

No other PC in the house was having any issues.

I've tried it using DHCP and a static IP - both of which worked on all other machines as well. No joy.

The router I am using is the first generation Belkin Pre-N, which for the past year has needed the occasional reboot, but didn't really have any serious issues.It is several years old.

As I said - no other machines had any problems. They are all running Vista Ultimate (a mix of x32 and x64), along with my netbook running x32 build 7000.

Answer:7057 x64 Broadcom wireless issues

After replacing the router with a new, modern 802.11n router, this problem is gone.

I am having problems with my wireless card. I am connecting to our home's wireless signal; however, I cannot access the internet. When looking at the connection status I can see that the packets received is very low (about 3) which is what I am assuming the problem. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Answer:Problem with Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN card

Has the Wireless Network Adapter got its correct IP address from the router, most commonly a 192.168.x.x address? You can check this by opening a Command Prompt window ("Start > Run", type CMD and click OK) and, at the prompt, typing:IPCONFIG /ALLThis will show details of all network adapters in the PC.If it hasn't got the correct address, it probably hasn't "Connected" properly to the wireless network.

I have recently refreshed my presario b1900 notebook using the recovery partition hoping to fix a bizzare issue where the CD DVD/RW drive is conflicting with the Broadcom Wirless network card.

Whenever I am connected to a wlan, the CD drive is removed from "My Computer" and from the Devices screen in Control Panel. If I disable the wlan card, go to devices and tell it to scan for hardware changes, the Cd drive is immediatly found and useable again.

I figured vista had got itself in a twist so I did a fresh install from my recovery partition only for the issue to immediatly happen again.

I have done the usual google searches, but this issue seems pretty unique and have not found anything solid.

Hi, I have a new g530, I used it maybe 20 times, original Windows 7 Home Prem, I didn't change any drivers all original. this morning I turn on and no internet, I checked wifi "no connection available" , it has Broadcom b/g wifi, checked the switch is ON,wireless connection is enabled,I disable/enabled wifi with the switchI disabled enabled in network center I booted in Linux mint 9 to see if the windows drivers are badI got same problem, installed thedriver but could not connect to internet anyone has suggestion thatnks

My wireless stopped working. I had problems in the past, not sure how I got to work then. But the other day after handling the modem/router-combo, I guess it became unplugged. I plugged it back in and have not had wireless since. I turned off computer, restarted. My wireless network is not even listed. I can connect vie ethernet. No adapter is listed under Broadcom Wireless.

I'm on a HP pavilion dv6000 vista home pre. 64bit. Anywho, my wireless light indicator stays on orange even when its on the on/off position. I don't know what the issue is but its a pain! I managed to chat with one of them HP online techs. and they helped me solve my problem for a day. What they told me to do was to update my bios, then install the broadcom lan adaptor, in that order... but since whoever that tech was... he/she was a really slow typer so i didn't know and i installed the broadcom wireless first, and i guess my wireless picked it up right away. But the next day came by and it was yet again dead. Now im pretty much stuck with an ethernet wire and i can't get any work done at school because most of my classes need online info. (On a side note: Broadcom wireless is usually shown under Network Adaptors in my Device Manager, but now its gone and i just can't do anything to make it detect Broadcom. Also the only item that is under network adaptors is Nvidia Nforce Controller(i have no idea what that is, but its there).

It's been almost 4 weeks now since this happened, Help is greatly greatly appreciated!

Last resort** send my laptop to HP and get robbed.

Hi Mistergq,

The NVidia Nforce Controller is your ethernet hard-wired port

Do you know the exact make/model and version of your wireless card? The issues your having are all caused by the driver its using so if you have that info around I can try find another one for you to use

I received my new business Y50-70, and I have found that the range of the wireless card is awful. If I am standing within 5 feet of the router I get full speed, but as I walk 10 to 15 feet away (in direct line of sight) I can watch the bars decrease. If I go around the corner into another room, I basically lose all connectivity. This is awful performance for a nice laptop. Are there any settings or way to boost the receiving strenth of the wireless card? I travel often, and need to be able to connect to hotel wireless, and this will not suffice. If not, I may have to return this. ThanksMatt

Answer:Y50-70 Wireless Range for Broadcom 802.11ac BCM453...

I have the exact same issue on my y50-70. My laptop also has Broadcom BCM4532.Any suggestions??? My OLD laptop has way better range and performance at greater distances than this crap...

My laptop isn't detecting it and I cannot connect to wireless networks. The light to indicate if the wireless is on or not, is showing orange (off) instead of blue (on), when in fact the switch is in the 'on' position.

I've tried installing the broadcom driver again, but it didn't help. I'm just about to call up HP to have it serviced, unless anyone has any suggestions?

What really gets to me, is that my laptop is just about 1 and a 1/2 years old and this is the second time this exact same problem has occurred. Last time this happened, it was almost at the end of the warranty and I was able to have it repaired under the warranty. Now, I'm guessing I'll have to pay for the repair - the warranty is finished.
This second problem has occurred during a SHORTER time span - in about 4-5 months! Last time, HP's affiliates who repaired it, said the problem was the motherboard, so the motherboard was replaced (or was it just repaired?)

So I'm out of ideas. I don't even use the wireless much. Most of the time I'm connected to the internet via ethernet. What actually causes this problem?
Does anyone know how much having this repaired or having the wireless adapter or motherboard replaced would cost?

My laptop is a Compaq V3118au in case anyone's interested lol.

Sorry for my essay

Thanks for your help

Answer:Problem with broadcom wireless network adapter

i know this problem. first, try to update your BIOS. if this will helps so, the problem disappeared.
second problem connected with southbridge chip(mini-PCI-express is bus which connected directly to southbridge)
third. i recommend to sell this laptop. this platform has VERY BAD QUALITY of motherboard and has development errors(lack of northbridge and videochip heatsink). HP tried to fix this problem with new BIOS in which they changed passive thermal cooling temperature, but this is not right way.
and fourth try to replace the Wi-Fi adapter.

Hello, I currently have a Lenovo G510 laptop. i am running windows 10 on it since it came out last year. but after updating to the anniversary update in August I have been having various issues with the wireless connection. the issues seem to come up when waking the laptop up from standby/sleep mode. issues seem to be the wireless adapter can become disabled completely, the wireless card can't find any wireless networks, or after waking from standby/sleep mode the wireless connection has slowed down. i have found a workaround by going into device manager and disabling and then reenableing the wireless adapter. I have updated to the latest drivers for the broadcom 802.11n via windows update and tried uninstalling it completly and reinstalling it but the issue remains is there anything lenovo or anyone can recommend or have a fix for this issue? thank you

Is the wireless adapter listed there? If it is, click on it & try the selections on the toolbar.

I would like to express my dissatisfaction at how poor the build in WLAN card is on my Z580. I am sitting here typing this using my laptop on a G rated old USB plug in WIFI adaptor receiving full signal with my built in WIFI currently disabled as its the only way I can get a signal, yet sitting next to this laptop is my 3 year old low spec netbook which has full signal to the same router! For a fairly high spec laptop to have such a poorly performing Wireless card is beyond belief. If you search this very support forum there are numerous reports of how poor the broadcom WLAN adaptor is. This brings me to a few questions: Why is the bios whitelisted to only allow Lenovo FRU WIFI cards to work? I am more that capable of installing a WIFI card myself but you make this impossible by not even allowing customers to purchase replacement WIFI cardsWas there a faulty batch of wireless cards installed on these laptops?Will someone send me a replacement FRU WIFI card?I have done all the checks, uninstalled the drivers, reinstalled the drivers, checked the router itself etc. so please don't ask me to do the basics, I work for one of the largest ISP's in Britain and have access to the latest N rated 300 Mbps routers for testing purposes.

"support.acer-euro.com/drivers/downloads.html" which just prompts the "Found New Hardware wizard" for the network driver. also been on Broadcom site which I can't make sence of...............Please Help!!!!

You can try updating the driver through Device Manager. Open Device Manager, find and right click your wireless network adapter, then 'update driver'.

Trying to get my wife's older laptop to connect to our wireless network. The laptop is a HP pavillion zv5000 running windows XP sp3. The network adapter is a Broadcom 802.11 b/g WLAN. The router is a cisco linksys WRT54G2 V1.5. The security on the network is WPA2 using TKIP+AES encryption.

I can't get it to connect to the wireless network. If I bump the security down to WEP it will connect just fine. I want to leave the security at WPA2 however. How do I fix this?

I tried using WPA (not WPA2) with TKIP and matched the settings with the laptop....no luck there either...

The Security settings for the network show WPA2 with 2 encryption options...AES only or TKIP+AES...for WPA it only has the option of TKIP....maybe it can run both at the same time or maybe that means it will recieve both with WPA2?

Restarting, enabling and disabling and so forth doesn't solve the problem, only a full uninstall of the device and a clean install of most recent drivers fixes the issue, until next time I try connecting to a public wifi.

My Asus runs window 10 64bit.

Any ideas?

Answer:Broadcom 802. 11abgn wireless sdio adapter

Use a utility such as Aida64 to see exactly which model is your WiFi adapter. Then download latest driver directly from Broadcom and see if they do work. Since the problem arises only in public networks, it could also be some security restriction. I don't have a WiFi card right now, so I cannot help you with any settings. Anybody else?

Hello, I am having many problems with the Broadcom Wireless adapter that came with my acer. Around every hour it disconnects from my wireless router, and I know the router is working fine. I have to disable and reenable the wireless adapter in my lappy to get it to reconnect to the router, and after another hour it does it once again. Along with that, every so often, it doesnt send or recieve packets very fast, its like its working in extra-slow mode.... Ive downloaded the latest drivers for the adapter from the Acer webpage, and they dont seem to help.... Is there any fix for this problem? Another thing, is this a widespread problem with Broadcom Adapter?

Hello, I bought ThinkPad E450 with broadcom 802.11ac wireless adapter about two weeks ago.I experienced blue screen when I tried to use the wireless device as Hyper-V external virtual switch.After the blue screen, the broadcom does not work until I remove the device from devicemanager and reinstall the drive. Any solution? - My driver version of Broadcom 802.11ac adapter is the latest 7.35.267 as of 15-Aug-2015. The previous version's (for Win 8.1) result is the same. As long as the adapter is NOT associated with Hyper-V, it seems to work fine.- OS: Windows 10 pro 64bit- 16G Memory- Virtual Technology is enabled on BIOS setting.- Hyper-V feature is enabled. The ethernet adapter is working fine as Hyper-V extenral virtual switch. BTW, I have a sony laptop PC with Intel Wireless adapter, which works fine with Hyper-V.

I'm still suffering from blue screen in the environment where broadcom wireless plus hyper-v are installed. (PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA)

So far any updates on my PC including drivers, BIOS, Windows 10 etc. did not solve this problem!

It is obvious that virtual switch associated with broadcom is root cause.It is due to the fact that blue screen does not occur after removing them.

Hi: See if this driver works... http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=7834518&swItemId=ob_154780_1&swEnvOid=405...

I have a serious problem with my Hp series 6000, two days ago i'am working with no problem in this machine and a wireless adapter was working very good, but yesterday the switch button front machine not change color, only i have the color orange, then in windows vista 32-bits the broadcom adapter not under list network adapters, i chat with hp Us-Support and working in BIOS Update to the latest version and after reinstalling drivers for 802.11 a/b/g for broadcom adapter, but VISTA not detect the hardware.

Hello folks, In general I am happy with my Y3-1470 but the bottle neck for me is my wireless card which can run only at 433mhzMy router is capable of AC1900 (Asus RC-AC68) so I am looking for other cards I know that card has to be "white listed" by Lenovo so hope you can help me with choosing the right one.I suppose the bcm94352Z is one of them - the question is where I can purchase one? Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks

I have an HP dv6-6c10us laptop with a Broadcom 802.11n wireless adapter. It worked fine on Win 7. When I upgraded to Win 10, it stopped working. The driver has not been updated since 6/2/13. Until the driver gets updated by Broadcom or HP, this computer is now a desktop. Any suggestions on how to get the wireless adapter doing under Windows 10?

I've had this problem on and off for almost a year. My Acer 5750 laptop will randomly drop the connection to my router/modem.

Often I will be browsing on Firefox or another browser when suddenly the page requested will crawl along and a "page cannot be displayed" will occur. Often if I wait a few minutes, shut down the browser or laptop, reboot and it's good to go again.

The odd part is Windows will not always show a bad connection on the wireless icon on the toolbar. Sometimes there will be the yellow connection issue, but often the connection shows as working fine.

I have tried many times with a clean install of Windows Home 64bit, clean and up to date drivers from Acer. I updated the BIOS a few days ago but the problem remains.

It is not a major problem but it occurs at least a few times a day.

I also tried putting linux on the hard drive for a few days, no dropped connections but then again it was not tested very much.

The driver used is Broadcom 5.100.235.19

The actually modem/router setup seems to be fine as I never get dropped connections on my Android tablet and devices. The wife never complains of problems on her Samsung laptop which is running Windows 7 Stater, her Android tablets are good too!

I am not entirely convinced running Linux resolved the issue as I never fully tested it.

Possible network adapter dying?

Would love some suggestions, thank you.

Answer:Acer 5750 (Broadcom wireless) dropping

This type of wireless disconnect problem can be caused by a million different things but the most likely problem is the power saving feature being turned on.

You can turn this off by going into Device Manger and opening up Network Adaptors, right click the wireless adaptor you are using then click on Properties, you will have the option to turn off power saving in the power management tab.

I am a computer technician for a small consulting firm in Boston Mass called Tech Networks of Boston (TNB). I am having an issue with my 3000 N100 0768-E7U running the Pre-loaded Windows Vista Business edition. Original description: T7200(2GHz), 2GB RAM, 120GB 5400rpm HD, 15.4in 1680x1050 LCD, 128MB nVIDIA GeForce FX Go7300, CDRW/DVDRW, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth/Modem, 10/100 Ethernet, touch pad, Camera, Fingerprint reader, IEEE 1394, 6c Li-Ion, WinVista Business Since I purchased my laptop from TNB back in March of 07, i have had issue with playing audio while using the wireless. Sound get clearly degraded when wireless activity occurs. I though it would have something to do with drivers so i updated the wireless and sound drivers to the latest ones offered by the manufacturer (which are more recent then the ones provided by Lenovo). no luck. I later decided to wipe and install Windows XP Pro on my laptop. Surprise, sound and wireless work great. Now i have reloaded the newest version of Vista Business with SP1. still having the same issue. Does anyone have any suggestions or fixes???

Answer:Broadcom Wireless and Sound under Windows Vista

Fausto,

I believe we need to look into your audio drivers ... Realtek. What version number driver are you running under Vista?

Also, what mode are you running the network card in? Are you running in 'G' mode?

Can you explain a bit more about the degraded sound? Is it stuttering / skipping, or...?

Can anyone suggest anything for the Wireless adapter tripping out after upgrading Win 8 to windows 8.1? Computer used to work fine on Win 8. Now I cant download large files or watch TV or you Tube or live Football 30 feet away from the Router. Yet it worked good on Windows 8. Anyone having similar problems? Is it possible to return to Windows 8? I did not make a Restore USB at Windows 8 but did a Restore USB for Win 8.1.

Answer:BROADCOM 4352 wireless adapter trips out

The Broadcom drivers aren't installing the right one but if you can visit the Windows Update Center using a wired connection there is a new driver for Broadcom that works.

Hello together, I got my ideapad 5 days ago but so far I could not get access to my wlan router (so called fritzbox). If I use a direct connection via cable everything works fine (internet).The following things I tried so far- update of broadcom drivers- enter IP address (no automatical)- firmware update for the router- Numpad (f7) is turned off Further details are that my home network (WEP) is shown in the network manager and if a switch off the WEP descryption it will also not work. Could somebody help me? Thanx

I'm using the Yoga 3 pro-1370 since more than 6 months, after successful Windows 10 upgrade. No particular trouble (except BIOS upgrade one month ago to get rid of the flicker screen issue). One week ago the wireless connection got lost; the Broadcom BCM4352 disappeared from Device Mgr (still present in hidden devices). I checked the regular methods found on forums (drivers update; power management tricks on wifi; disable fast reboot; BIOS WLAN off/on; power button push >20 secs to clear status; sfc /scannow etc etc)I ran the diagnostic from Lenovo (USB boot), says nothing on HW, all tests passed. Few days ago (after power button push 20 secs) the card reappared (and wifi worked correctly), but disappeared again after restart. After upgrade of Bluetooth driver from lenovo + deactivation of Bluetooth in DeviceMgr, suddenly the Broadcom Wireless card reappeared; disappeared again after standby, but coming back if reboot. So very likely it is about the standby (when closing the notebook cover or not using the notebook for 1h etc) Any suggestion please? to start using a dongle wifi on 1500? notebook is really messy... Thanks in advance

Answer:Wifi Broadcom card disappearing from Y3P Windows 10

I think something with Windows' backend changed in the past few days, because I had my WLAN control vanish, but bluetooth stayed operational. It's been working fine since.

My Broadcomm driver is 7.35.307.0.

As a precaution, make sure Windows cannot put this device to sleep, and see if it helps:

After upgrading my Vista Business SP2 (32-bit) to Windows 7 Ultimate RC (32-bit) my Broadcom USB smart card reader does not work any longer (Dell Latitude E6400 with built in smart card reader). The newest available driver from dell support was already tested (Broadcom, driver date 09/23/2008, version 1.0.0.1, digitally signed WHQL, released by dell in March 09), but the device can not start (Error code 10) with Windows 7. With the Microsoft WUDF Driver (Usbccid, driver date 06/21/2006, version 6.1.7100.0) the device starts but whenever I insert my smart card an additional device is detected (other device - smart card) but no driver found - Error message is: The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28). What else can I try to get this reader working again (with vista sp2 the smart card reader was working fine with the broadcom driver)?

Answer:Broadcom USB Smart Card reader not working

I have the same problem with my E6400 64 bit.Dell should have the drivers for it but i don't see them on the websiteI think there are several packages you need to install to get this to work.http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?os=W764&osl=EN&catid=-1&impid=-1&servicetag=&SystemID=LAT_E6400&hidos=WLH&hidlang=en&TabIndex=ControlPoint Security Driver PackControlPoint System ManagerControlPoint Security ManagerDo you have the latest version of all of these installed?zokyn/andy_power - As Ronnie suggested, please go into device manager and find the Hardware ID for the your smartcard readers, then post them here. Also post the make/model of your PC's. I'll see if I can help you track down drivers.Thanks,MarkWant to know if your hardware will work on Windows 7? Check out these links:

I had to reload Windows 7 and could not get my ethernet card to work. The drivers I will trying to load were also not working. I uninstalled the hardware and can't seem to reinstall it. This came with my computer and I don't seem to have any other disks other than the Dell Driver Disk. Is there an installation driver I can download to allow the computer to recongnize the hardware again? Thanks.
